      Thank you Caylors, any suggestions on freshwater outdoor unheated pond fish that enjoys fast flowingwater? Apart from koi and goldies.

      @@Fishaholic I’m not sure of the dimensions or gallons in the pond. If large enough a couple of Chinese hifin sharks would be awesome. Bitterlings also make great year round pond fish and are often used with other species.

      Its not that big, 2.3m in length, 1.2 in width and 1.1m in height. I believe 2500L volume. Appreciate the suggestions

    Great video's, this pond is awesome and I'm planning to try something very similar, so this is extremely helpful to me. I subscribed =)
    Was 1 x 4L container of Liquid Reinforcing Fabric enough for this pond project? (or did you use more)

    • @Fishaholic
      @Fishaholic  2 роки тому +2

      I only used 1 can but it was just to give Plywood long life. I have used under layment and pond liner later on in this project. Glass window is installed and made a filter too. Video will be uploaded this friday

    What sort of paint did you use for the inside of your pond? I have an old bard in my back yard and judging by the amount of water it holds I thought it would be quite a comical pond. I presume that the wood has sealed all the cracks with swelling but wonder how fish would cope in it!

    • @Fishaholic
      @Fishaholic  Рік тому

      Hi, I have used a waterproofing membrane on the inside of the pond. Pond has epdm liner to hold the water. Membrane was applied to increase moisture resistance to the marine grade plywood. It's basically an overkill.

      @Fishaholic  Рік тому +1

      Hi mate, cost of pond approximately 4K which includes filter and lighting. Glass was 800 and liner and Underlay cost me just under 700. Structural timber, sleepers, marine Plywood, decking board were other expensive items
